Those vile children deserve everything they have gotten. Either you never watched the video or, sadly, the things those kids were saying didn’t make you want vomit.
Whether or not you wanted to vomit is irrelevant. This was an insulting and demeaning verbal assault by these kids. Kids at times engage in disgusting pack behavior, but insulting someone with words is just not one of the more severe forms of misbehavior.
Get as emotional as you care to, but a years suspension and reform school is far too severe for what these kids did. It is an overreaction to the youtube sensation and cowardly playing to the mob on the part of the school officials.
